The 'Twilight' pair who used to paint the town red with their whirlwind romance called it quits after years of dating. However, seems like even years after their break up, the Bella Swan in Kristen Stewart still has a soft corner for the Edward Cullen in Robert Pattinson. Recently, while promoting her upcoming movie 'Seberg' at the Toronto International Film Festival, Stewart was reportedly all praise for her 'Twilight' co-star.
Talking about Robert Pattinson being roped for the role of DC's iconic superhero 'Batman', Kristen Stewart reportedly said that she feels that he is the 'only guy' who could have played the role. Further hailing her ex-boyfriend's as the Caped Crusader, Kristen Stewart said that he has the 'perfect cheekbones' to play the crime-fighting, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.
"I'm so happy for him. It's crazy. I'm very, very happy about that. I heard that and I was like, 'Oh man!' It's awesome," ANI quoted Kristen Stewart as saying.
On being asked if the two exes could reunite in the upcoming 'The Batman' or another superhero flick, Kristen Stewart reportedly said, "I'm down. I'm definitely not turning that down."
The Batman movie
Filmmaker Matt Reeves, who was behind the last two films in the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise, is set to direct the trilogy of 'Batman' films starring Robert Pattinson in the lead. After Ben Affleck stepped down as the film's director in 2017, Reeves boarded the project. Affleck, who took on the role of Batman for 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and 'Justice League', will be replaced by Robert Pattinson this time. The iconic role is previously played by several other actors including Michael Keaton, George Clooney, and Christian Bale, among others. The first in the trilogy is expected to be released on June 2021.
